As soon as i get a new box in the mail i peel the plastic off of it and set it on top of a large garbage bag on my table. Then i use an angled paint scraper to slice it into nice 1 pound blocks. I each block in purple saran wrap and place about 3 blocks into a ziploc bag until i need to use it. It makes it so much easier for me when i start to make the candles. Just peel away the plastic wrap and place in the presto. HTH
I buy my jars from Wellington and they are wonderful. I did get a lot of 1/2 oz FO samples from them and they smell really good but i have not tested them in wax. I decided to go with a different supplier for FO's. I live in Michigan and i always receive my jars the day after i order them. Anne is very nice and great to work with.
What is the best packaging for dipped bears? I thought cello bags would be good, but i read that it messes up the wax when touched, which makes sense. Any suggestions?
